Julio and Maria kick back this Friday and catch up on the week's news—from the Pennsylvania special election in a disappearing congressional district to the power of youth walking out of school to protest gun violence. They also chat about courageous women of color, like undocumented immigration activist Maru Mora-Villalpando, who filed a complaint against ICE and Lizbeth Mateo, an attorney and Dream 9 OG who became the first undocumented immigrant appointed to a statewide post in California. And they discuss the tragic assassination of Marielle Franco, a Rio de Janeiro councilwoman.

Thoughtful and InstersectionalI listen to this show as soon as it is released. Intersections of gender, sexuality, BIPOC perspectives, socioeconomic, and logic. Great commentary and discussions. Not all agree on same issue, and that's the best part.
